Guest Frail4Life Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am now working at a Restaurant 6 days a week, 14hours a day.Mostly with people that dont care for the business.

I want celebrate 3 things, life, freedom and fun. Cape Town to Montagu and back in 24hours, 600km.
DJR Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 You have been very quiet Frail, welcome back on the Hub and on the bike. Ride safely. Even with 3 months of training, 600 km in 24 hours will kill me if I'm lucky enough, most likely I'll just be scarred for life.

I want to try brackefell to cw, but not sure which routes are safer options
Marius Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 600km in 24hrs will be near impossible for you. Chris van Zyl that does most of the Audax rides could only manage 600km in 28hr and he's plenty fast.
Dicky DQ Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 And if the bloody wind blows like on Saturday it will take waaaaaaaay long. Took me almost 5hrs to do 55km.
Dicky DQ Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Whot route are you taking? I want to try brackefell to cw, but not sure which routes are safer optionsBrackenfell to CW safest route is via Wellington, Bainskloof and then you have the option of going via slanghoek or straight to CW via the recently redone road. now with a wide shoulder.
Dicky DQ Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Why not join the Audax guys and gals?Western Cape events for 201521 Mar 2015 – 400km – Vrede Wines25 Apr 2015 – 600km – Vrede Wines
Dubsymike Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 This was a funny read cause i thought you said 600km in 24 hours...
DJR Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 This was a funny read cause i thought you said 600km in 24 hours... Frail have done some pretty impossible stuff in the past. If anyone on the Hub could do it, he's the one. For instance, in 2014 he rode his bike to every race he did and back home afterwards: Yes, He's a Capie and raced in Jhb, Durban twice, PE, Knysna, and a few more. He even rode his bike to Swellendam to do the Double Century. Tough like you won't believe.
Marius Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 There is like NO WAYZ! except if he travels into one direction with the wind with no major climbs.
DJR Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 In 24 hours: 600 km = 25 km/h average without stops. 600 km = 27 km/h average if you take a total of 2 hours rest.600 km = 30 km/h if you take a total of 4 hours rest. That will be tough, bloody tough, even more so to do it solo on a varied route. But possible.
